Ainsley & Natalie - ?
Anita & Gleb - ? (I *think* ballroom otherwise she'll only have done one of those in five weeks)
Carol & Pasha - ?
Daniel & Kristina - ?
Georgia & Giovanni - ?
Helen & Aljaz - ?
Jamelia & Tristan - ? (*must* be ballroom as she's not done it since week 1)
Jay & Aliona - ?
Jeremy & Karen - ? (prob ballroom for same reasons as Anita + he's just done 2 latins)
Katie & Anton - ?
Kellie & Kevin - ?
Kirsty & Brendan - ?
Peter & Janette - ?

Can someone please explain to me which dances are ballroom and which dances are Latin?

Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Quickstep are Ballroom, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive, Paso Doble and Rumba are Latin, and then the other four are strictly neither but American Smooth and Argentine Tango are classified as Ballroom and Charleston and Salsa as Latin.

Latin-
Cha cha
Jive
Samba
Paso Doble
Rumba

Ballroom-
Viennese Waltz
Waltz
Quickstep
Foxtrot
Tango

"Others" (classified as according to how they are considered on SCD) -
American Smooth- Ballroom
Argentine Tango- Ballroom
Salsa- Latin
Charleston- Latin

Lol Darcy has replied on Wickham's thread (Pride and Prejudice) this tickled me

Thanks everyone

My predictions

Ainsley & Natalie - Samba
Anita & Gleb - Quickstep
Carol & Pasha - VW
Daniel & Kristina - VW
Georgia & Giovanni - Cha Cha Cha
Helen & Aljaz - Charleston
Jamelia & Tristan - Foxtrot
Jay & Aliona - Paso Doble
Jeremy & Karen - Waltz
Katie & Anton - Charleston
Kellie & Kevin - Salsa
Kirsty & Brendan - VW
Peter & Janette - Samba

It'd be odd if we didn't have a Rumba this week as that would mean Georgia's still the only one who's done it.

If there is one this week then I can see it being Jay & Aliona

I'd love to see Jay and Aliona do a rumba, I bet they'd sizzle

Can't wait for Ainsley & Natalie to do the Charleston

You are probably correct, I was just using the dances from last year (from the same week).

Mind you, whoever does get the rumba is at a disadvantage I feel (not a high scoring dance with either judges or the audience; especially for the female celeb).

Just saving this from page 2 pre-results show...

Jamelia has the Foxtrot, from the results show

Georgia got Salsa

Salsa should be great for Georgia

Ainsley has the Jive (via Natalie's Twitter), which she's so excited about doing she tweeted it at twenty past one on a Monday morning.

Natalie is excited about doing a jive with her 6'3" heavy-set 58-year-old celebrity? Wonder if she's choosing a la Brendan - the fastest song she can find?

Hoping jay and Aliona have something upbeat ; especially after last week QS. The Charleston would be perfect.


Team GG should do very well with their salsa.

Jamelia might fade in the background again next week if Tristan doesn't choreograph something a bit exciting. .....and the foxtrot is the hardest ballroom dance ( imo anyways )

What music could be used for a salsa

One can only dream for something like this...

However, we will probably get something inappropriate. Rather tired of dances being shoe-horned to fit music just because it's current/by some trendy artist.

I've salsa'd to this before - and I thing its great.

I can see Tristan choreographing a more sassy Foxtrot for Jamelia, 'sassy' is the only word I can think of she's excelled more in dances that require personality and attitude, her Charleston was amazing!

I can see G&G remaining mid-pack with their Salsa. I'm starting to think out of the celebrities I rank as the top; Katie, Helen, Peter, Kellie, Jay, Anita, and possibly Jamelia, she'll leave the competition before them.

Ainsley's Jive I can see being entertaining to watch, maybe a little struggle with technique but I think they'll be safe if it entertains.

I think Georgia is much better than Peter & Jamelia at least. She's also better than Helen in Latin, but maybe slightly not as good as her in ballroom. I'd also put her probably equal with Anita, Anita is better natural dancer but Georgia is neater.

I'd say only really Jay and Kellie are better than her (Jay's mess up notwithstanding) and Helen will go past her if she can relax into her Latin.
